Annual reporting in 2015: evolving communication in a changing world is the third edition of EY’s annual review of FTSE 350 annual reports and accounts (ARAs).
This follows up on EY reviews from previous years, Reflections on the past, direction for the future and Out with the old, in with the new, which set out the hallmarks of leading practice reporting in each of the core sections of an annual report.
